Good luck, Dani. I agree with Linda. You can't always tell that seeds have done the thing they are supposed to do, but you don't want to soak them for more than twelve hours. Even if you do soak them for longer than that, you have to rinse them after no more than 12 hours. Now you have to make sure that the seeds stay damp but that they are not actually sitting in water, and rinse them at least every twelve hours.
One more thing: They don't have to be in the dark. Very few of them need this. You are not growing them to microgreen stage in a jar. They just need to stay out of direct sunlight, which could burn them. Love those broccoli sprouts. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org> On Behalf Of Linda S. via Cookinginthedark Sent: Saturday, September 5, 2020 9:10 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Linda S. <lindahoney...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [CnD] Question About Sprouting Broccoli Microgreens Ah that's nice. Good luck. We had some really strong broccoli sprouts from our our indoor garden. We don't have that any more. He's grown them before that though, we've never grown mung bean, but we sure love to eat them. He loves Asian food, and I love Mexican ... well I love any kind of food!
